NASHVILLE, Feb The druggists
tax suit was decided against them by /
the supreme court to-day, Judge Bur
ton delivered the opinion These
suits were brought by the state and
county in 1885, in the chancery court
at Nashville, to compel the defendants
to pay retail liquor dealers'tax for the
years 18S1-2-3-4-5. The court below
gave judgment for the tax for the
years 1S82-3-4-5 excluding all inter-
est, penalties and tax for 1881. Both
the eompainants and defendants APP
pealed.
The court decided the cases this
morning holding that the defendants
were liable for the retail liquor dealers
tax for years 1SS1-2-3-4-5, and also
gave judgment for interests nthe tax
! Tor each year from the date it should
have been paid, reversing the decision
of chancery as to the tax Of 1881, and
interest on the other years, This de-
cision will increase the total liability
OF the defendants to about $4,000.
The court in iR opinion held that
druggists were not liable for a liquor
dealers tax for the sale OF medicinal
compounds in which liqdors enter as
component part such, as tincturcs
extracts, escenses, etc. The state
however, did not insist on the liabili
~ for the sales Of this character The
court also held that the defendants
were not liable for liquor dealers tay
prior to 1885, for sales strictly upor
prescription of regular practicing ply
,icians, but for 1885 they We're LIABLE
OF sales on prescriptions.
1t is estimated that the entire ia.

this decision will be over half million

as test cases, and it is presumed tina

It is well known that Judge Allen,
white he was on the Bench, was slow
to accept circumstantial evidence in
criminal cases as conclusive Of guilt
until it was corroboratod beyond all
peradventure. Few people knew the
reason why, but we heard it from his
own lips AT the time Of the occur
renee he was presiding Judge OF the
Southern Circuit, if we are not mis-
taken. At his home in Decatur coun-
ty, some years after he had retired
from the Bench, he related his expert
ence. He said -
"In those days it was quite different
from now. I remember once, while
riding my circuit, as it was called that

to room alone and heard low, NUT

situation was anything but agreeable
and my speculations as to surround

But bedtime came and was invited

room in the loft of the house. retlr-

voices could still be heard, and a red

A FATAL MISTAKE.

THE Cleveland Ohio Press,
Of February 23d, 1858, pub
lishaj an account Of y fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR., Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangemant of the digestion,
with a poo s,p ;i;e, followed
by a peculiar .nor,c.ibable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as o
faint "aiI gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guil feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosaVe thepatlent's
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1888, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, Or. PerIier, DR..

BLOOD FOR BLOOD.
A Terrible State of Affairs in Hardin
County, Illinois.

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ill, Nov. 25.-The
Hardin county vendetta which threatened
to depopulate two counties a few months
ago, has broken out again, and two more
desperate members have been rushed hence
without having opportunity to remove
their boots. The cemetery record shows a
total of thirteen killed, five of whom have
taken their departure this year. Ten years
ago Logan Bell, a desperate character, shot
and killed Doc Oldham at dance in the
Oldham homestead Both men were
among the most prominent in the county,
and excitement reached a high pitch. The
community took sides and when Wash
Covert, a witness for the prosecution
was laid low with charge
of buckshot, the trouble began.
Leek Hornbrink, who was connected with
the Oldham faction, was assasinated on
his door step Old Bell was soon after
shot from ambush and killed. Logan Bell
was sent to the penitentiary for the kill
ing of Doc Oldham, and Bill fraley went
up for the shooting of Covert. During the
trial, gang of which Bell was captain,
and which contained some of the best men
in the county, was exposed. This band
was called Sons of Liberty" and its osten-
sible object was to regulate" citizens.
While Bell and Fraley We're in the peni-
Tertiary couple OF men were Killed on
each side. After they were released Bell
was indicted for the assassination
of HOrnbrnk and was tried
last spring and acquitted. Three
weeks later he was shot dead from
ambush. Two weeks after Captain Logan
Bells death, his brother Jim was shot and
killed at the same spot, Gave in Rock
These assaSsinations produced great con-
sternatiOn, and the friends Of the Bell
faction. among whom was Earl Sherwood
and others, received orders to emigrate and
they moved into an adjoining county.
Then Judge Hess of the circuit court, WHO
presided at the trial was threatened with
death if he did not leave. He armed him
self and is still here. Last Tuesday night
a dance WAS given at farm house near
Battery Rock. Among those who attend
ed were Joe Blair Bell, partisan, and
Joe Hugleton, a relative OF OldhamS, Bill
Fraley, who removed Covert, was also
among the spectators. About 2 o'clock in
the morning the festivities We're
terminated by the report of Il pistol
and HugletOn staggered back against the
wall, while Blair advanced on him with
the weapon. Before the aggressor could
fire again HugletOn sprung upon him like
tiger and during the struggle that en-
sued the lights were extinguished Half a
dozen more shots were fred and the
dancers rushed panic stricken out of the
house. Ten minutes after the first pistol
shot all was quiet again, and half dozen
of the young folks returned. They lighted
lanterns and found two corpseS twined to-
Cether on the floor Hugleton had been
shot twice through the body, but had sue
ceeded in drawing a knife and the result
of his awful work was seen in the twelve
wounds on Blair's body. The inquest ex-
Onerates the others from blame.
